    Text - t 26 419 Nicole Cliffe @Nicole_Cliffe 4h Single men tend to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. He also had a clean clothes pile and a dirty clothes pile, washed takeout cutlery in the dishwasher for reuse, and had never cleaned his shower or his towels.

    Text - ti 7 102 El Beauregard-Lacroix @elanpin 5h Replying to @chengela @Nicole_Cliffe I dealt with this by moving in, bringing a bed frame with me, and assembling it myself, but my boyfriend still keeps his old (queen sized!) floor mattress in his closet "because it might be useful someday" so like, there's really no winning

    Text - Angela Chen @chengela 5h t 10 95 Replying to @Nicole_Cliffe I was just lurking but now I need a complete how-to guide on this point because it's been over a year and I still cannot get my boyfriend to buy a bed frame

    Text - t 7 71 El Beauregard-Lacroix @elanpin5h Replying to@chengela @Nicole_Cliffe He was so skeptical about even HAVING a bed frame (why??) that getting one into the house felt like victory, plus I leveraged the moral high ground of the 170-lb-bedframe assembler to make him buy me drinks later

    Text - Nicole Cliffe t 7 129 @Nicole_Cliffe 4h You need to get yourself a bed frame, Alan. You can do this.

    Text - Angela Chen @chengela 5h 130 Replying to@elanpin @Nicole_Cliffe also, you're kinder than I am, because I would see bringing assembling a bed frame as defeat. he needs to assemble it himself. he needs to buy it himself. in fact, he Needs to WANT to buy it himself. (narrator: the bed frame never materialized)

    Text - t1 4 52 Lauren Hill @laurenalexi13h Replying to @chengela @Nicole_Cliffe my boyfriend was so against normal human beds when we met that rather than just BUY one he made his own, but not in a cool way. it was basically just a sad futon mattress with a single sheet on some 2x4s. we live together now & i still have to fight to have a duvet

    Text - t6 109 Josh Fruhlinger @jfruh-3h to strike a blow against gender essentialism, a year during this stretch was spent involved with My Worst Romantic Decision, & among her other bad qualities (married, perpetual grad student, manipulative, mean), she slept on a pile of blankets and egg crates she called her "nest"

    Text - t 13 101 magdalene @mcnhobbs 4h Replying to @chengela @Nicole_Cliffe my boyfriend is off twitter for lent so I can tell this story but for 2 years after he graduated from college he owned no furniture because he has a W Golf and didn't want to pay the IKEA delivery fee. He had an apartment with just a folding chair and a mattress on the floor.

    Text - t 7 90 Daniel M. Ford @soundingline 2h Replying to @Nicole_Cliffe Some of us when single ALSO slept on air mattresses (which my cat kept destroying by kneading me and missing) Finally only bought a bed when the woman I am now married to was coming to my apartment for the first time.

    Text - t 7 104 just Hannah, now 15% cheese @hpstrawberries 3h Replying to @Nicole_Cliffe I dated a guy in uni who shared a three bedroom apartment with four other guys. He turned a closet into a "bedroom" so we could have "privacy" when I stayed over. The bed was a camp mattress with a sleeping bag. This sounds fake as I type it but I swear it is true.

    Text - t 17 315 Frank Kuipers @namknarf 3h Replying to@Nicole_Cliffe When my ex and I split up she took the bed, and I got a bedframe from a friend, but I only had a twin size mattress to put on it and it was the saddest thing to behold, like if depression was an object on top of another object.

    Text - t 4 123 Matt Kiefer @matthewjkiefer 4h Replying to @Nicole_Cliffe I will cop to the fact that, when I started dating my wife, owned two armchairs and no couch. We would push them close together so we could hold hands while watching TV.

    Text - Rosie Fletcher @rosieatlarge 4h t 15 132 Replying to@Nicole_Cliffe Maybe this is some Peak Middle Class Shit, but I have never encountered anyone in the UK who didn't have an actual bed, this only owning a mattress business (and box springs???) seems a very American occupation
